      (d) For the purposes of ( c ) of this section, lights include low intensity headlights and daytime running lamp devices…”

      Car manufacturers are required to have daytime running lamps on all the cars they sell.

        While many car manufacturers provide this feature, it is not required. See 49 CFR 571.108 (Table I-a—Required Lamps and Reflective Devices).
